No ankles were damaged in the taking of this photograph, but thanks for caring :D

Me? Climb? not on your nelly! I stayed at the bridge while the rest of the tour went for a run up the glacier. I managed to get some great shots, they got all the exercise :D I did, however, manage to get a few cuts and scratches from the vicious bladey sharp thorny foliage though….does that help? hehe

Mel Brackstone in reply to Karin Taylor’s comment, 4 months ago

If you ever get a chance to see it, particularly the south island, I’d recommend it, Karin!

So well composed Mel. Love the way the bridge fills the frame and that is one magnificent skyline that dominates the snow capped mountains. Lovely foreground interest and beautifully processed.
